We need to talk about something. That thing you've been doing — spending hours scrolling job boards, tweaking cover letters at midnight, hitting "apply" on 30 roles and hearing back from maybe 2?
Yeah, we're done with that.
F316TN works differently. This is a reverse recruitment platform. That means companies come to you. They browse registered talent, the AI matches them with the right people, and if they like what they see, they reach out. You don't apply. You get found.
So your job application strategy isn't about applications anymore. It's about making sure your profile is so good that companies can't scroll past it.
Here's how.
Forget Applications. Think Visibility.
On a traditional job board, your strategy is volume — apply to as many roles as possible and hope for the best. On F316TN, your strategy is quality — build one brilliant profile and let it work for you 24/7.
The AI matching engine looks at five things:
- Skills (40%) — the biggest factor by far. Be specific, be thorough.
- Experience (25%) — years, seniority, and relevance to the roles on the platform.
- Work authorisation (20%) — mandatory. No match without it.
- Location and availability (10%) — remote, hybrid, on-site, timezone compatibility.
- Salary expectations (5%) — whether your range overlaps with what the company is offering.
That's it. That's the formula. Every one of those factors is pulled from your profile. So the better your profile, the higher your match scores, and the more companies see you.
No cover letters. No ‘dear hiring manager’, No personality quizzes. Just your profile, doing its thing.
The Profile Completeness Game
Here's a number that matters more than you think: your profile completeness score. It goes from 0 to 100%, and it directly affects whether companies can even see you.
Above 80% complete + CV confidence above 70%? Companies can find you immediately.
Below that? You rank low on matches
Getting to 80% isn't hard. Make sure you've covered: your skills (be generous — list them all), your work experience (with dates and details), your education, your work authorisation status, your location preferences, and your salary expectations.
That's it. Not a 45-minute application form. Just the things companies actually need to know to decide if you're a fit.
How to Get Better Matches (Without Doing More Work)
Once your profile is live, the AI does the heavy lifting. But there are a few ways to nudge your match scores higher without breaking a sweat:
Add more skills. Seriously. If you know it, list it. The matching engine uses semantic understanding, so even related skills improve your visibility. Added "data analysis" to your profile? You might start matching with roles that list "business intelligence" too.
Keep your salary range realistic. If there's zero overlap between your expectations and what a company is offering, you won't match. You don't need to lowball yourself — just make sure your range has some flex.
Update regularly. Finished a new project? Learned a new tool? Update your profile. The AI recalculates your matches whenever your profile changes, so fresh information means fresh opportunities.
Ask Maya for help. If your match scores are lower than you'd expect, ask Maya- our AI assistant. She can tell you what's blocking your matches — maybe it's a skills gap, maybe it's a location mismatch, maybe your profile is missing something obvious. She'll set you straight.
What Happens When a Company Finds You?
This is the fun bit. When a company matches with your profile and likes what they see, here's what happens:
They reach out through the platform. You'll get a notification — no digging through spam folders.
You can review the company and role before responding. Check the match score, the job details, and everything else.
If you're interested, you respond. The company takes it from there — they'll set up the interview format and let you know what to prepare.
Everything happens on-platform. Messaging, scheduling, video interviews — all in one place.
You're not chasing anyone. You're not following up with "just wanted to check in on my application" emails. You're being found, contacted, and courted. As it should be.
But What If I'm Not Getting Matches?
First — don't panic. The platform matches you based on what companies are actively looking for, and that changes all the time. A quiet week doesn't mean your profile isn't working.
But if it's been a while, here's what to check:
- Is your profile above 80% complete? If not, that's your first move.
- Are your skills specific enough? ‘Marketing’ is vague. ‘Content Strategy, SEO, Paid Social, Google Analytics’ is what companies search for.
- Is your work authorisation clear? Remember — this is a binary filter. If it's missing or unclear, you might be invisible to roles you're perfect for.
- Is your salary range in line with the market? Check what similar roles are offering and make sure there's overlap.
Fix those, and watch what happens.
